But after seeing Manu Ginobili's shoe explode on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons, one has to wonder how much a sturdy, non-exploding shoe costs. Umm, yeah, that's not supposed to happen. Nike is a multi-billion dollar company but can't make a basketball shoe that won't explode. Come on guys, you're better than that. (H/T SB Nation)

Aside from the story of Maquette, the main premise of the game revolves around solving puzzles in a recursive world. Players must navigate three different versions of the world, one small, one regular, and one large, while using its recursive nature to overcome many challenges. Players can pick up an object in the regular world and place it in the smaller world. When they turn around, it will be larger than it was before, perhaps creating a bridge to reach new areas....
Similar to other recursive first-person puzzle games like Superliminal, Maquette features a somber story of a struggling couple (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Gabel), but perhaps the biggest draw of the game is Maquette’s gorgeous world. Each section and corner of this mysterious plane is a model of the world around the player used to solve puzzles and progress through the sad tale. RELATED: Superliminal Review But perhaps the reason why this fantastical world of Maquette is reminiscent of emotional Pixar movies is because it was created by someone who used to work on Disney theme parks....
